Immortality (Mythical Nations)

Immortality (不死 Fushi) is an central theme of the series, seeing as most people in the Mythical Nations possess it. The very opposite of Mortality, the two are so fundamentally different that even natives of the Mythical Nations get confused; even if a person renounces their mortality, they have to renounce all mortal ties to even gain immortality in the Mythical Nations. Fundamentally, this type of immortality is different, as it only extends to the Mythical Nations` territory, and the United Commonwealth of Nations` territory; outside they lose their immortal status though they do experience a major boost in their strength, far beyond that of an ordinary human. Besides their immortal status and incredible extremely-enhanced physical abilities, they look identical to humans and it is impossible to distinguish them from ordinary humans; in fact, they are reputed to be the fastest race on Earth. Due to their immortality, and physical abilities, they are ostracized and referred to as a different race; due to their Old World Government-style of ruling, they retained all of their foreign titles which had been given to them as a courtesy and a gift of friendship between member nations of the Mythical Nations and other foreign countries.

Overview
At the beginning of time, when Humans were just beginning to emerge, the Immortals became the strongest and the dominant race; blessed with an immortal status and enhanced physical abilities, they formed their own countries and isolated themselves from the rest of the World. One of the first examples of these "Immortals" as they would later be dubbed by the early colonist's of the Old World, was Grand Duchess Diana Vergi (founder of House Vergi and the first Empress of the Sous Novian Empire), people were so obsessed with them that they even started to stalk them. Unlike regular immortality, which can be blessed upon somebody; the citizens of the Mythical Nations possess a different age of immortality, they experience slowed aging and stop aging when they are in their early twenties, or even in some rare cases their later or early teens; in some extraordinary extremely-rare cases, they even look like a young child when they stop aging. At a certain point, an citizen can give up their immortality which is infused with their particular type of magic back to the Goddess of Magic, Helena; an permanent immortal status is then bestowed on their loved ones so that they may continue to watch over the citizen`s graves and their mortal in-laws.
